Guichenotia glandulosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a spreading, dwarf shrub with hairy new growth, more or less linear leaves with the edges turned down, and pink flowers arranged in groups of six or seven.

Description

Guichenotia glandulosa is a spreading, dwarf shrub that typically grows to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide, its new growth covered with a mixture of red glandular hairs and white, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are more or less linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The edges of the leaves are turned down, and both surfaces of the leaves are covered with white, star-shaped hairs, more densely so on the lower surface. The flowers are borne in groups of six or seven on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long and covered with long, glandular hairs. There are egg-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long and bracteoles about Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The five pink, petal-like sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at their base, and there are tiny, deep red petals but no staminodes. Flowering occurs in August and September and the fruit is a papery capsule Шаблон:Cvt long.[1]

Taxonomy and naming

Guichenotia glandulosa was first formally described in 2003 by Carolyn F. Wilkins in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected in Uberin Rock Reserve, south-east of Wongan Hills 2000.[2] The specific epithet (glandulosa) means "gland-bearing", referring to the pedicels.[1][3]

Distribution and habitat

This species of guichenotia grows in sedgeland and along creeklines near Wongan Hills in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion of south-western Western Australia.[1][4]

Conservation status

Guichenotia glandulosa is listed as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[4] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.[5]
